Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

It can be said that "Final Fantasy" left a very deep impression on Song Ren.

Especially the protagonist Claude.

Especially after understanding the causes and consequences of the game, I can clearly feel the charm of Claude.

Although in the plot of Zack's DLC, after the last heroic sacrifice scene, his love for Zack rose to a peak.

But after the game is over, look back on this long adventure, from Midgar to the Golden Saucer, the Cosmic Canyon and finally the Big Hollow.

Or Claude's image makes him more profound.

At the beginning, Claude always gave people a cold and inaccessible image, and liked to say 'no interest' and talk about 'reward'.

But in reality it was just an illusion.

The real Claude is passive, full of loneliness, and a very vulnerable person.

When he was a child, he also wanted to play with Tifa and other friends, but he couldn't say it every time.

On the day that Tifa's mother died, Tifa naively went to find her mother and went along a mountain road leading to her hometown with her friends.

After Claude knew about this, Claude, who had always been introverted and withdrawn, quietly followed behind Tifa. When he saw Tifa slipped and was injured, Claude wanted to save Tifa, but he also Stumbled and fell unconscious.

Fortunately, Tifa and Claude were discovered by others and rescued them back into the village.

This also makes Claude deeply remorse, and desire to have power so that he can protect Tifa.

Therefore, after knowing the deeds of Sephiroth, Claude gave birth to a heart of worship and chose to leave the village to join Shinra, and met Zack, the most important friend in Claude's life.

When he returned to his hometown, because Claude still remembered the agreement with Tifa.

But because he was only a small soldier, this strong inferiority prevented Claude from showing his true colors, and chose to cover his face with a helmet and look at Tifa silently.

Introverted, so low self-esteem, this is Claude.

But also Claude has another side, when he sees the 'big hero' Sephiroth he admires destroying his hometown.

When I saw Sephiroth hurt Tifa and defeated Zack.

Although he was just a miscellaneous soldier, Cloud was able to summon the courage to fight and stopped Sephiroth with a righteous backstab.

From that moment on, Claude has actually become a hero, but he has not yet fully matured.

Later, due to the immersion in the magic, the memory loss and the witnessing of Zack's sacrifice made Claude mentally stimulated.

Later, he once again witnessed Alice dying in front of him.

It can be said that Claude is not a perfect hero.

It can even be said that Claude is a rather weak man. After knowing Claude's true character, sometimes even players will think, why is Claude so unpromising?

But it is precisely because of this that the role of Claude is more like a real person and more able to feel the charm of this role.

In addition, every character in the game has left an extremely deep impact on people.

Jesse, who got a bento in Midgar, was the first girl to boldly flirt with Claude.

I wanted to be an actor, but because my father became a vegetative person because of the magic, I decided to join the avalanche to destroy the magic furnace.

My best friend died because of Shinra, I wanted to avenge my best friend, but in the end, the so-called protection of the planet was just to make myself feel better, and the scolding was even a bit unkind, but it was used for the second time. special.

When he was young, he thought that his father abandoned the tribe and his mother in battle, and when he finally found out the truth, he screamed in the sky in the cosmic canyon.

Yuffie is bent on collecting magic spar and saving her hometown.

As one of Shinra's top executives, Cathy became a double agent.

Sid who wants to be a great pilot.

Vincent Valentine persecuted by Dr. Hojo.

Tifa, who lost her parents to Sephiroth.

Zack sacrificed heroically to protect Cloud.

And Alice, who is an ancient species with a heavy fate.

Big boss Sephiroth.

Even the treasure of the source of all evil is very impressive.

"It's just the content of this game, it hurts people too much!"

Song Ren, who was looking at the list of subtitles at the end of the game, sighed.

If, if only there was a happy ending, that would be great.

In fact, it's not just Song Ren who has such an idea. Most of the players who have cleared the game have already discussed it on the major community forums.

'By the way, can't Mr. Chen have some happy endings? This knife is painful for me! "

'Yes, yes, none of Jesse, Zack, and Alice are alive! ’

‘But then again, although it’s a knife, the final ending should be considered perfect, right? After all, he successfully stopped Sephiroth, and in contrast, Zack and Alice are also reunited with the flow of life! ’

'That's right, and if Zack isn't dead, what about Alice? ’

'What to do? Isn't there a sisner? ’

'Why Sisney? Alice Sego! ’

'Zack again! Zack again! Did you watch the drama? When Alice and Claude were playing at the Kingdee Amusement Park, she clearly said that at first, Claude approached Zack only because of his approach to him, the way of walking, gestures, but later Alice felt the gram. Claude is just Claude. ’

'That is, Alice really liked Zack at first. At first, when she saw the shadow of Claude, she approached him unconsciously, but then she obviously liked Claude! ’

‘Please don’t stone hammer so soon, okay? It’s just that Alice understands that Cloud is not Zack. Is there a confession in the game? Is there something more intimate? If you think this means that Alice is in love with Claude, then I think a girl asks you to borrow a pen, and you can think of the name of the child in the future. ’

'That's right, although I also like Claude, can you not have so many dramas? And then again, aren't you talking about what if Zack and Alice didn't die? Didn't Zack reunite with Alice without dying? ’

'I think this ending is very good, Alice and Zack, Cloud and Tiffado are perfect! ’

'Jesse, Cisner: Did you forget something? ’

? ? ? ? ? ? ?

what the hell?

Is this the beginning of knocking on CP?

The knife is a little uncomfortable, and Song Ren, who is uneasy in his heart, has just logged in on the Tieba forum, ready to see if there are like-minded players.

As a result, I was speechless when I saw the content of this forum and the community.

To be honest, he did have a bit of LSP elements at the beginning, and he paid attention to this piece.

But with the plot of the game, in fact, he was more attracted by the group portraits in the game, focusing on the stories of each character.

On the contrary, he didn't care about the matter of standing CP at all.

And I don't know if it is Song Ren's illusion, that is, the performance in the game is actually quite vague.

Except Zack has a relationship with Alice, which belongs to the official stone hammer.

In fact, other characters do not have this depth at all.

Not even Cloud and Tifa have official stone hammers.

Inside Nebula Games' office

"Of course it's not an illusion, it's intentional, you are still too young!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Look at these CP parties on the Internet, they are all discussing whether Alice likes Zack or Claude! This is normal, after all, each player has his own wash, standing Tifa, standing Alice, and All stations are required."

"But our manufacturers can't do this." Chen Xu stretched his waist.

Cloud, Tifa, Alice and Zack?

This is a very pure sibling relationship! Where did the CP come from!

Official CP?

Official CP is impossible to have official CP.

If this is the official CP, how can it be popular?

In the previous life, SE was deep in this way, including various extended novels, setting collections, and public video variety show interviews, basically maintaining the mode of shuffling audio and video.

Sometimes I accidentally miss the mouth and show my personal opinion, it's okay to eat the book directly later.

Not to mention the relationship between Claude and Alice, that is, Lien Tifa and Claude, even if countless players acquiesce, but in games and CG movies, there is still no real stone hammer.

"Only in this way will it give players an open-ended feeling and guide players to imagine the ending they want." Chen Xu said with an inscrutable expression.

"So, Mr. Chen, this is the B version, the reason why it is only Midgar!?" Yang Xin had a speechless expression on his face.

"It's mainly to see the players' follow-up reactions, and the continuous release is also an overdraft for the IP itself. Don't you think this will make the topic and popularity of "Final Fantasy" burn again?" Chen Xu coughed gently. twice.

"I don't know if it burns or not, but you will definitely not be able to get out of the gate of Nebula Game when Mr. Chen arrives." Ruan Ningxue said thoughtfully.
